Â¶1. (sbu) Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Mohammed
Batayneh confirmed on June 12 press reports that the GOJ had
reached agreement with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE on a
3-month extension to the deal reached prior to the war to
supply Jordan with concessional oil. Batayneh said the deal
would continue to be for 100,000 bpd equivalent, NOT/NOT
120,000 bpd as reported in the press. Batayneh said the
terms of the deal would remain as before, with Saudi Arabia
supplying 50,000 bpd of crude, Kuwait 25,000 bpd, and the UAE
the cash equivalent of 25,000 bpd.
Â¶2. (sbu) Comment: 100,000 bpd is roughly equivalent to
Jordan's consumption needs. There would be little, if any,
excess oil imported into Jordan under the extended deal, with
any excess most likely being represented by unused cash from
the Emirates' contribution rather than unused crude. End
comment.
